Töötan tarkvaraarendusega töö juurest.

Õpin ja õpetan Taltechis.

Panin püsti selle serveri.

iso paper sizes are delicious: sides are 1:sqrt2 or about 1:1.414

A4 is 210x297mm

A4 folded in half is 148x210 or A5.

A3 is two A4s, or 297x420

go to A0 841x1189 or one square metre.

A-1 (A Minus One) is 2 square metres.

Australia is ~A-43

The visible universe ~A-179

A proton about A139.

A Quark? A151

Presumably A232 is one dimensional though, as it's planck length on the long edge.

What's My JND?

Okei, certbot on nüüd korras. Ta tahtis uuendada cdn.est.social domeenile certi, aga seda enam me ei kasuta. Mitte kuskil pole seda kirjas, aga uuendada tahtis ikka. Ilmselt vist luges vana cerdi pealt.

Lihtsalt kustutasin ära kõik failid ja lasin uuesti teha, nüüd toimib ja ka peaks uuendama automaatselt.

There are cute instances such as mk.absturztau.be, social.translunar.academy but I think the cutest instance is mastodon.social

This chart shows all objects in the Universe, arranged by mass (vertical) and radius (horizontal).

The edge of the upper left corner is the "Schwarzschild radius" - anything along this edge becomes a black hole, so we don't expect stuff above and to the left of that.

The edge of the lower left corner is the "Compton wavelength" - anything here has a size so small that measuring its position that accurately would require enough energy to create a new one.

These two corners intersect in a white dot. This would be a black hole so small that it's heavily affected by quantum mechanics. By definition its mass would be the Planck mass, and its radius the Planck length. Nobody has seen such a thing.

The black region to the left of that dot, labeled "QG", contains imaginary objects that are more compressed than black holes, yet also ruled out by the uncertainty principle. So they're doubly impossible - unless Quantum Gravity, which we don't understand, changes the rules.

The pink strips of slope 3 are lines of constant density. For example "QGP" is the density of quark-gluon plasma, "BBN" is the density of the universe when Big Bang nucleosynthesis was going on, and so on.

The Earth is only slightly more dense than a flea.

The black dot labeled "Hubble radius" is the whole observable universe.

I like this chart a lot. It's from here:

⚡ Nii, uuendus tehtud 4.5 peale, sellega tulevad põhiliselt:
✳️ Saab teha viitepostitusi, ehk "tsiteerida"
✳️ Peaks tõmbama automaatselt juurde vastuseid teiste serverite postitustele, et oleks "elavam" vestlus
